How stress causes white hair

  • In today's time, there will hardly be any person who does not have stress in his life.

  • Stress not only affects our mental health but also affects our entire body.
  • Stress makes our body hollow from the inside. When you take more stress, it causes the ageing of your cells. The effect of this can also be seen in the colour of the hair.
  • The natural colour of hair is due to melanocyte pigment. This happens in the stem cells of the hair.
  • When we are under increased stress, norepinephrine is produced in the body.

  • This hormone interferes with the functioning of melanocytes and due to this hair starts greying prematurely.
  • Apart from this, stress can also be a reason behind hair fall.
  • Stress not only affects hair, but it can also cause skin pigmentation.
  • If you stay in the sun for more time than necessary or there is a lack of nutrition in the body, then this can also cause hair to turn grey.
